Hi,

We have two RO sites for a single RW volume. One sits on the same server as
the RW, the other on a different fileserver. If we intentionally take down
the the fileserver with the RW volume and one of the RO sites, and then try
to access the volume through a mount point in the RO cell, it works. But,
when running "ls" from within the mount point, the client hangs for about
20 to 30 seconds, and then finally brings up the contents. I'm assuming the
20-30 second hang is the timeout time for the first server. Is there a way
to decrease the timeout allowance?

Best,
Ken
